Deathstroke #22 - "Defiance, Chapter Two"

I was minding my business, and Marie Javin from DC e-mailed me about Deathstroke. I went "Deathstroke?" It took me a minute but I had to go, "Isn't he that guy who fights the Teen Titans?" She goes, "Yeah." And I go, "He has his own book?" "For a long time now." I knew nothing. So I said, "Send me some of that and I'll look at it." I looked at The New 52 stuff and I looked at some stuff prior to and I got in contact with her and said, "I appreciate you thinking of me, but I can't write this."

And she said, "We're doing this 'Rebirth' thing, so if you were writing Deathstroke what would you do?" And I said that it would be interesting to me if I could do something introspective. Kind of "behind the mask," you know? Get inside his head a little and kind of treat him the way we treated Black Panther in a lot of ways, where people are speculating about his motives and what he's going to do, and he's always one step ahead of everybody. -- Christopher J. Priest

too busy?a) it is black and white, look at his old costume by comparisonb) look at the guy in your avatar, HIS outfits are too busy!

also, did Slade unleash the murderbots himself?(also, I like Slade and Light sitting around talking over coffee. get 2 heroes in the same room and they start fighting. 2 villains? they sit down and chat.)

By the looks of it now, he isn't a rapist in Rebirth. If he was, he'd be trying to remind everyone of how much he loves rape every 5 seconds or so. If anything, we're back to how the guy was before he was made such a huge joke that Identity Crisis had to happen.

Also, looking forward to how Priest tackles the Secret Society! Forever Evil's Society felt like just another assemblage of villains. This one seems like a "Barksdale Organization does Robert's Rules of Order" kind of thing. And if it isn't, I wish it would.
